Traditional choral evensong service with a Christmas Eve flavour, marking the end of Advent and the beginning of Christmas.
St Albans Cathedral is holding a Choral Evensong on Christmas Eve, Thursday 24 December, from 5:00pm to 6:00pm. It's a reflective service of choral music, readings and prayer, and as night falls it marks the end of Advent and the beginning of Christmas. The cathedral describes it as a traditional Choral Evensong but with a flavour of Christmas Eve, and it's not very suitable for young children.
Music has been one of the cathedral's glories for centuries. The 11th-century tower holds bells that ring across the city to mark services and special occasions, and the organ, built in 1962, is described as a pioneering instrument that enriches worship, concerts, festivals and musical life. The cathedral itself is the shrine to Britain's first saint and the oldest site of continuous Christian worship in Britain, a home for worship, music, learning, heritage and events.
